In his Independence Day message, Kharge said, “My dear countrymen, a very happy Independence Day to all of you. We remember the sacrifices of millions of our great freedom fighters and pay our respects to them.”
He added, “Democracy and the Constitution are the biggest shields for our 140 crore Indians. We will protect it till our last breath. The opposition is like the oxygen of democracy. Along with stopping the unconstitutional attitude of the government, it is also raising issues for the public. It is a matter of concern that constitutional and autonomous institutions have been turned into puppets by the government.”
Kharge also mentioned, “The dream of our freedom fighters was to maintain unity in diversity. But some forces are trying to destroy our brotherhood by forcibly imposing their views on the country. Therefore, it is important that all of us remain conscious of the freedom given in the Constitution regarding expression, life, food habits, clothing, methods of worship and the freedom to move anywhere.”
He assured, “As the President of the Congress Party, I want to assure all the countrymen that we will continue to fight against unemployment, inflation, poverty, corruption and inequality. Be ready to make every sacrifice to protect the Constitution. This will be the true tribute to our ancestors.”
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi also wished the countrymen on the occasion, saying, “Happy Independence Day to all our countrymen. Freedom, democracy, justice, equality and mutual unity are our national resolve. These values are the foundation of our Constitution, protecting them is our ultimate duty towards the country. Our resolve to protect our freedom, the Constitution and its principles is firm. Hail India!”
